Well,...the spoke broke. Here's the update people:
You get back together with your TOXIC significant other, turn on the spin cycle...twice. Then the machine breaks down. You can't call the mechanic or the Maytag guy because they are out and not taking calls. It's just...broken. Go buy a new washer.
Put the broken washer on the curb and leave it alone. REALLY leave it alone this time. Otherwise, your clothes will never get clean. OK??

I just don't get it. You're in this committed relationship then it all goes to sh*t. You try to be "friends", but everyone knows that's just an automatic response to make the other feel better (or worse).
You are done, SO done with it all, with everything that had to do with him then BAM, you find yourself right back in it again WITH HIM.
I don't get it.
It's cyclical. Just goes round and round like a dysfuntional wheel.
How does one cease this?
Are we destined for this ever constant motion until a spoke breaks?

Many writers make a living, or a sizable portion of their living, by selling articles to magazines and newspapers on a freelance basis. The trick is to generate saleable ideas, match them perfectly to the right periodicals, then write terrific query letters. In particular, you must know exactly which publications are appropriate for which ideas (and how to figure this out among the thousands of publications).

Description:
"Concrete Improvisations" is the first major American museum exhibition to pair collages and sculptures by the noted abstract painter Esteban Vicente. A distinguished member of the first group of New York School Abstract Expressionists, Vicente (1903-2001) was, like Willem de Kooning, born in Europe, in his case, Spain. Unlike his Dutch contemporary, however, he has not received the large-scale recognition he deserves. An influential teacher--he taught at Yale, Princeton, the University of Puerto Rico, the New York Studio School, New York University, and other schools--his students include Chuck Close and Dorothea Rockburne. Among his most important and lyrical contributions are his collages which, as Elaine de Kooning described in a 1953 "Art News" essay, are intimately linked to his paintings. "Concrete Improvisations" also features 20 small-scale sculptures (which he called "divertimientos"). The approximately 80 works are drawn from public and private collections in Spain and the U.S. Organized by the Grey Art Gallery, the Museo de Arte Contemporneo Esteban Vicente (Segovia), and the State Corporation for Spanish Cultural Action Abroad, SEACEX, the show is curated by Lynn Gumpert, Edward J. Sullivan, and Ana Martnez de Aguilar, and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.
Exhibition on view: January 11-March 26, 2011.
Also on view: "Art/Memory/Place: Commemorating the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire," January 11-March 26, 2011, and April 12-July 9, 2011.
